Answer 1

Janefield Colony was opened in October 1937. Its proclamation as a centre catering for mentally deficient children was published in the Victoria Government Gazette on 27 October 1937. The function of the agency was to provide accommodation and educational instruction for mentally retarded children, particularly "severely retarded" children.

Janefield was known as a "Colony" until 1962. It is on Plenty Road Bundoora. It wasn't a prison.
